The Worst - Lab Tech Clinical Reference Laboratory Employee Review

Pros

The only pro I could think of was quitting.

Cons

Management was terrible all the way to the top. I watch good people get fired for reporting issues. They kept and promoted the poorest of employees due to favoritism. Terrible and unsafe environment to work in, not because of poor equipment but because of employees/shift leads/ supervisors not using it properly or at all. You wouldn't dare step out of the lab if it wasn't break time and if it was break time you would be written up if even a min over.

Pros

Free fruit every day and free ice cream in the summers.

Cons

Some teams are hard to join. Many people have been there decades so they do not explain things well to new people and communication is unclear. Procedures are purposefully documented poorly so they can't be required to follow them during inspections. This means reference material is unavailable. The rudest supervisor I've ever met worked here and was well thought of.

We also strive for all employees, whether new or existing, to feel included and supported.
